Summary
This 8-K filing from Ford Motor Company, dated February 13, 2007, primarily serves to provide supplemental financial information from their Q3 2006 Form 10-Q, formatted in XBRL (eXtensible Business Reporting Language). Ford is participating in an SEC voluntary program to test this new digital tagging format for financial data. The XBRL data, along with an "Intelligent Financial Statement" PDF embedding this XBRL data, is being submitted as an exhibit to this report. Investors are strongly cautioned by Ford that the XBRL-formatted information is unaudited and should not be relied upon for investment decisions. The primary purpose of this submission is for SEC testing of the XBRL technology. Investors should continue to refer to the official, audited financial statements filed in the Form 10-Q for making any investment assessments.
